Modi announced state government’s decision to allot a plot for this purpose on 99-year lease for just Re.1.

Emphasizing on infrastructure, the Chief Minister said that 10 years ago while Gujarat’s only four per cent houses had facility of tap water supply, today the figure is 74%. He said that rate of urbanization has decreased by 33% due to availability of three-phase power round the clock in all 18,000 villages.
